1914
- 7 men are recruited at Devonshire Street, Carlisle.[1]
- Provisional arrangements by the Cockermouth Joint Political recruiting Committee: “The County Industrial School Band ....to meet contingent of West County men belonging to Lord Lonsdale’s Battalion marching from Workington. This Contingent....will march to the Railway Station....where some half dozen of the [Westmorland & Cumberland] Yeomanry will join them – then all will proceed....to Market Place where Col. Weston M.P. will speak.” [2]
- A detachment of the Lonsdales, under the command of 2nd Lieut. W.A. Hobson, continue events from 7 November and march to Cockermouth at 10.30am. They are met by a band and continue to march through the town.[3]
- At 12.15pm a dinner provided[4] then the men fall out until 4.10pm, when they parade for tea.[3]
- The detachment then marches to Cockermouth station entrains at 5.47pm for the return journey to Cummersdale station, where they march home to barracks.[3]
- Letter to Lt-Col. Machell from T. Armstrong, vicar of Brampton: “I hear that a detachment of the Lonsdale Battn. is coming to Brampton on the Hiring Day, Nov 11th & will stay overnight in the town. As that night is the rowdiest of the year, with a lot of drinking, & worse – we should be grateful to you if you would kindly see that some officer is sent with them who will be able to exercise a fairly strong control over them. On each hiring day towards the evening may be seen numbers of half-drunken lads and girls & these would be a great temptation to your young men of whom we are justly proud....The hiring practically ends by one o’clock: after that there is much dancing & drinking.” [5]
